2001 Alfa Romeo 147 distinctive review from Luxembourg
"I love the car, but I hate spending a fortune at the garage repairing it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaked where the windscreen was fixed on driver side
Aerial of the ignition no longer recognized my keys
Electronic engine of roof opener broke
Loss of power this week end - engine chip says there is a problem - I think with the Turbo, but garage is unable to find the problem - will pull 50 mph maximum and rev limits at 3300
At least 8 head lamps have been replaced - especially driver side.
General comments?
Pleasure to drive if it didn't go wrong so often.
